I'm not sure about stash because I'm the idiot that asks 'no drugs please' during my resort (aka hospital) visits knowing that effort is effort. Eg. Know pain is know gain; ie bodies own response to locations of balance, fulcrums and lengths. Same as.. Trying to avoid getting hurt too.
Anyway, today, rather tonight, great sight of might was a delight as luminous bright is our moon.
With text books that sound read and being some sort of creed, reminded me of a stoned scribe that N ever lied. Due to translate, much like Latin, slightly different made wrong although taught as a win.
The moon is water. At age ten we were taught to hyper excite water. 2h2o became 2h2o2 which is a violent gas pre mixed fuel/accelerant, heavier than atmosphere, eg will flood a house cellar. Boom.
Having read that NASA polluted a crater of an ancient weapon made me reality check... Hmm. Maybe we're better off polluted. Hmm.

Dude, sucks doesn't it. Wanna know how I feel? Really?
9 months after Bruce Lee past, tiger Qins tomb was open and I was born; bright yellow, spiked knob, 2 vertical stigmatism eyes, more.. Then with grandfather being British RSM WO1 James, I guess I was taught from eastern and western views.
Twenty years later, I was an A grade transport driver with the local army. I said to my mate whom worked in the local intelligence mob that I would take a hit. I took it, lost count at 7 bone breaks within minutes. Gifted with a communication plate on my face. Later on after breaking titanium on my face I retrieved documents that bared my name from the hospital vault.
They didn't know me! With my opinion they tried to create silent communication elite soldiers; we were assaulting beyond our planets ozones envelope.
Some believe I'm a fool.
Some believe I'm a real king.
I don't care what you believe, I'd like to keep believing that decent people still exist.
I'm unbelievable dude, I was honestly a lightning palm wizard and haven't formally trained since because I don't think I'm worth any more than you and most people wouldn't want to lose temper and accidentally take life because I was that friggin quick!!
Nowadays, ain't brag, they didn't know. I like to trust know 1; that be me. Enjoy coordination.
As per communication specialist with intelligence? I just an animal too.
1 child is a fast reduction. 2 child is a stable decline. Does it really matter if my seed fails the next round? With all my care I couldn't give a rats arse if pigmy dwarf humans somehow become the survivors of planet Earth.
You would have communicated with a dog. Check it out, no sound required, both happy, patting, playing ball, etc. That good enough.
I was never paid despite a daily head ache >14 years but I did have a 2 tonne gantry collapse upon my head. 5 mm thick blade of steel weighing about 1 tonne knocked me out. Although unconscious, I came too, still standing with stars circling my eyes.
I had learnt a Shaolin alphabet and around this era the Tibetan monastery recruited a tiger. I was planning to visit this year but I'm hopeless with girlfriend (know how to pick up? I don't).
The planet is alive, just like us parasites. It's about time we protected what protects us. Ever breathed vacuum? Nuclear real bad stuff dude. What about steam engines? Find a cleaner heater.
Hence, welcome brother, I sorta f-ed up, I talled my bike and gotta ride 30000-50000 km before I need buy any more cogs. Alright though, can snake up the hill via the 5% grades and most around here is flat.
Scary isn't it. Might get overrun by fast breeding greed creed.
Let's keep cycling, at least we'll have some strength if needed. Love you too

Nuclear is horrible. When driving past the old test sights, northern south Australia; the air is so crisp, clear, really beautiful to breathe, extremely amazing yet is knot the beautiful dance of death? Yes it is. Nuclear is like the Trojan horse!
Air so clear up there I watched my two dogs, stand about 4 inches apart; arching light bridge between their noses.
With bicycles we reduce friction; weight, roll, fulcrums, too achieve more power into the wind from the same power we input. Replacing cars of tonnes with bicycles of 20 kg would greatly help not so fit people enjoy travel. I think it's great how our government built loads of tracks to ride electric or natural with. Understanding this city tiny, still hard too imagine why nuclear; there is waste!

If you're concerned about CO2 emmisions then a mixture of renewables, nuclear and storage seems the best way to go.

This page gives live figures for the CO2 intensity of electricity production across Europe.

Currently Germany is producing 5.5x more Carbon per KWH than France and 12x more than Sweden. (As theses are live figures they will change).

We need to reduce pollution pronto. Mummies need be in tomb.
Idk. I'm here because I modified 3 cheap bicycles in 3 months and enjoy that! I enjoy being jealous of carbon aeros and such but that doesn't take my entertainment of enjoyment away from me and my alloys.
No one in their right mind would believe me regarding planetary genocide so I only wrote that once. Oh look.

Just brain storming? Yes? Step machines(motors) might become useful with reducing air toxins and relating to vehicle transportation. Bikes/ cars/trucks. The odd count of teeth with stator/rotors and the advancement of computer recognition rates could reduce weight of the vehicles absent of external sensors as speed and count of distance could be derived from the actual machine. Lol. Best breathing wishes to you!

Bravo friend. I love horsepower. Nature has plenty although listening to a high output non reduced engine crack sound on 1 metre props would be humorous.
I know some people were taught to protect the topography surrounding the people and I enjoy that too! Sail boat, paddle boat, bicycle, lonely dance; all entertainment.
I like your TT bars bro, thinking of saving towards aero bullhorn 'Toseek' being a more cost effective variety of bar and failing seek of 'Scott 1989 aero.' Considering cycling is a beneficial mechanical traveling aid that might help reduce planets starvation makes me hope the kids can swim safely.

And thank you kindly fast bird. I dislike being known, I haven't a clue about modern monarchs, or our societies, but I do know that I'm treated as scum often not being rich and pretty friggin common. But believe it or not in 2006 I demonstrated a human ability to pass 6+ metres of destructive electromagnetic force from my palm which could be why a lot of silent people recognize me as their king.

Often a bunch of friggin cowards then! Remember the thousands of wise men whom were watched burning alive because the bunch of cowards thought they were gods gift to society and cleared some vast forest! I have been picked on more than most realize already, I have had this body dead twice already thanks and fruit cake would be lovely, as would scones with jam and cream!! Quite sane thank you, just sick of the thieves and common petty nature that doesn't compute here as too why lots of humans aren't accepting that the naked masses of other species are just as brilliant! I know we're smart because at least we are liking bicycles!!
With forest destruction water is even more valuable as is our opposite and less ability to create from the carbon in our air!
Ever thought of magnet drive propulsion systems per the masses of ships? There's heaps of viable research to be done!
If able to either teach or tell, something important such as allowing mother earth to breath would probably be gifted as learn which is sad because I'm known as an old fool yet wanna know their teachers and education?
Cheers wd40, didn't realize it gave a residue. Bike needs a wash, what's the go please? Toothbrush with wash bucket?
BTW we can leave our heads in the sand too, might find something that saddens we if we look!

Electric cars look great, old mate; a professor, used to remove the engine, lock the box in 3rd, throw 5 batteries in the boot, register and drive about 80km per max. Batteries have evolved lots in 10 years, lithium ion now a lot cheaper and the newer lithium...... (?) Isn't as violent when exposed.

I think Brooksby is getting confused between different types of toxic air.

Although I personally find traffic fumes to be more unpleasant (especially at the concentrations in Britol), it appears that cigarettes produce a more harmful spectrum of particles:

I'd imagine that different plants in the cigarettes probably wouldn't make much difference to the particulate distribution.

The automotive industry promotes new cars because they are the automotive industry.  Forgeting about the energy involved in manufacture.  They are still bigging up the diesel, probably relating to the lower CO2 released.  But they will all be bigger and heavier.  Why not small cars, must release less emmisions as smaller.  Are the CO2/km figures obtained on a rolling  road or do they relate to real world driving?  With proper acceleration of all that mass?  And unless there is regenerative braking slowing down is all heat, and then means more acceleration of mass.

The WD40 thing.  I know it's not a lubricant and I would never let it near my bicycles, but, there is someting left once it evaporates isn't there?  There is slippery stuff near the nozzle, and the refilable bottle I inherited from the workshop in my last place of work (Gents your were missed) was covered in a very slippery film.

I commute across Bristol every day, often on my bike. The stench of petrol and diesel (diesel in particular) often makes me feel VERY sick when I cycle - the pollution is horrendous.

I support a total ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel private vehicles. This would have the added benefit of making the UK a massive market for electric vehicles, which should mean we would develop some of the best infrastructure for electric cars in the world and, potentially, become world leading in electric vehicles and their manufacture (something I, as an engineer, am very interested in!).

I think higher tax is required on polluting vehicles (particularly the old inefficient ones). I think that congestion/pollution charges will become necessary.

I am also aware that I am part of the problem. I often commute across the city centre and add to the traffic and pollution in my 15-year-old car. Why, because sometimes I'm not in the mood to cycle and the public transport is rubbish.

I also fly an aircraft with a 5.4 litre displacement that drinks 10 gallons of avgas per hour and pumps vast amounts of pollution straight into the atmosphere without so much as seeing a catalytic converter. I realise this isn't great either.

That said I'd do anything to own a small electric car (as long as it's big enough to fit a bike in the back). I'd also happily fly an electric plane.

Yes, that's the general spirit! This changing behaviour for the good of others, is, well, better off done by others. I'd like to help, but it's a bit inconvenient at the moment...

That's not what I was getting at. I would happily modify my behaviour to reduce pollution, trouble is, I don't have the money to adopt the latest technology (or that technology isn't available).

I'd buy a Tesla right away if I had tens of thousands of pounds spare!

I'd happily fly an electric plane over a massively polluting Avgas one, if they were in production.

Tesla's are able to travel long distances, 200 miles +.

I'm more than happy to change my behaviour reduce pollution, it just isn't possible without a massive lump of cash.

Commuting across Bristol I think you'll find a lot of that "stench of petrol and diesel" is actually dope. A worryingly high number of bristolian cars seem to be driven by people smoking "funny cigarettes" (as they were called in my schooldays).

Hi Boatsie, if you use a wet lube then WD40 would be quite effective at rinsing off old lube, dirt and grit. I suspect it would be a messy process though .

Thanks PeteD, what I meant was that the chain gets lubed and wiped off but feels gritty! Would wd40 clear the grit and then lube and go?
Toxic air, toxic water, is much the same. I'm cycling because it's cheaper and with internal combustion engine vs chain clean and lube I know I'm polluting yet feel such with a better choice of mechanical advantage to cover the distances.
I ain't special but I can write without decent explanation how ignorant us children on earth are! Pyramids can become serviceable useful tools!!
Imagine a poor family , child supporting a very sick father. Uncle there soon, father will recover. Anyway, understanding wealth is health, the child educates himself. Quite pleased that he made a light switch, planning to remote an electric machine. Yet to do so he cut up his fathers wiring loom. He shouldn't be punished yet.......

I completely agree, Don. FWIW, I don't advocate zero tolerance to cars with an ICE. I just don't see a role that government can realistically play to get people out of cars for regular journeys of less than five miles, which IIRC account for 66% of car usage. What additional (and, being realistic, politically palatable) incentives do people need?
